Transcontinental Race No. 5 - TCR5 - #TCRN05 - 2017

Looks like skinny just had to take a small detour via a local bike shop. Hope it's nothing major... he seems to be on the road again now.

... ... ... need to refresh more often.

Stephane was great entertainment last year when he landed up routing over some footpath over the mountains in the middle of the night, remember him finding it less entertaining

Last year, someone on here made a site where you could dot watch and get a street view preview of where the rider is. Is that still going?

Considering both how flat and westernised Hungary is I can't see why you would want to avoid it?

The YouTube channel of The Transcontinental Race has some excellent videos. Worth subscribing.

Oh no, that's all I need! When am I supposed to find time for that, on top of all the other TCR work?
This watching is relentless. It's a lot easier just to ride the bloody thing!

Lots of the main roads are no bikes, so it makes route planning a bit more tricky and that flat corner of Ukraine is a bit more direct, no? But you could lose that time with border crossings

Lots of road are banned to cyclists so hard to plan a route

Two punctures for James this morning: https://twitter.com/JamesMarkHayden/status/891958633705218048

Blimey, that Monte Grappa mandatory climb after CP2 looks brutal! Gotta be a photo-op for Hippy and some Italian hooch up at the top?

Ian To just reappeared magically at CP2 and is now on his way up the parcours in 3rd place just in front of Geoffroy. Guess he had tracker issues

Or turned it off while he got in a taxi.

(If The Clinic followed TCR...)

Anyone following the northcape race they are intersecting with?

Can't seem to get the TrackLeaders map to zoom in. Is it just me?

Ah brilliant. Many thanks and to @Yemble

No, the +/- signs don't seem to work so it's finger pinch on mobile or click/wheel on a mouse.

Who clicks buttons to zoom? This is 2017

Wish all bike paths were this nice

Way to make me feel old, man.

How do you do it on a laptop without a wheelie mouse then?

People still use laptops?

I actually don't know, I have a macbook so I can still pinch to zoom out etc

It's from 2010. Kids born then probably wouldn't even recognise it.

I don't think you can,I look on my phone as couldn't work it out on laptop. The alternative taking site works on laptop though
